Should cigarette vending machines be banned to stop their being used by child smokers?

"Cigarette vending machines could be banned to stop them being used by child smokers, it emerged yesterday.

As many as 50,000 children are feared to use the machines to acquire cigarettes, and there are fears that figure will rise after last month's raising of the legal age at which tobacco can be bought.

The British Heart Foundation is attempting to secure a Private Member's Bill to introduce legislation banning the sale of cigarettes through the machines, in the hope it will help reduce the number of youngsters smoking."

I would be in favour of this.
